Bread tastes better than dust

Caught the chipmunk that's been darting about the shop the last two days. It was hungry, scared, covered with dust and geranium petals, so I gave it a piece of bread from my sandwich and released it in the grass behind the store.



In other good news, lo and behold the last mantis turned out to be a beautiful medium-sized female! Jeremy named her "Malody." She enjoyed a big fat black cricket yesterday and now seems to be scoping for an egg-site. Umm, too bad I already released the males but a little parthenogenesis never hurt anyone.
